I welded up a steel tank 1 ft x 1ft x 2ft to use as a hydraulic tank on a small project. Unfortunately I am not a professional welder like you see on some of you tube channels. So I have a tank that will hold together but when you put some air pressure on it and some soap and water on the seams you find a bunch of pin hole leaks.
I have tried rewelding some of the spots but still have leaks.
I am just using a flux core wire feed. Have welder set for the right speed and amperage according to the chart on the welder.
So I have done some searching online and in local stores for a seam sealant that I could pour in the tank and Coat the seams on the inside.
The tank again will hold hydraulic fluid.
So has anyone used a home brew recipe or commercial product that is not too expensive to seal seams on a tank?
